事项： 摩根大通、美国银行、花旗集团和富国银行披露 2025 年四季度业绩快报，2025 全年分别实现净利润 570/305/143/213 亿美元，同比分别下降 2.4%、增长 13.1%、增长 12.8%和增长 8.2%。 核心观点：美国大行在信贷扩张与息差韧性支撑下维持较好业绩增长，但资产质量恶化和拨备压力上升构 成未来主要隐忧。美国四大行业绩整体呈现较好增长，摩根大通净利润小幅下降主要是四季度因将接受高 盛的苹果信用卡业务而计提了 22 亿美元拨备。驱动因素具体来看，（1）规模上，信贷扩张明显提速，商 业贷款和信用卡贷款成为主要驱动力，反映科技投资热潮与降息环境下居民消费需求的回暖。（2）然而， 资产质量压力凸显不容忽视。2023~2025 年四大行不良率、净核销率及不良生成率指标持续攀升，基本上 已经和疫情时期水平相当，信用卡净核销率甚至处在多年来的最高水平，显示风险正在积聚。但公司拨备 覆盖率处在近几年相对较低的水平，表明美国大行或没有为未来不良暴露做好充分的准备。（3）净息差 彰显了较强韧性。尽管美联储在 2024~2025 年累计降息 175 个基点，但 2025 年净息差呈现企稳甚至小幅 回 ...
